okay so i know i'm home already, but i still have so much to show you!
still have one more stop on fall break: BARCELONA

our first stop: mies van der rohe's barcelona pavilion

oh mies, you really did know what you were doing

barcelona chairs! in their natural habitat!

the bookstore and it's reflection

next stop : sagrada familia

you guessed it, still not finished

but still REALLY awesome inside

i don't even know what to say..

like a billion colors in this stained glass

can't define barcelona without gaudi

the casa mila!

had a lot of time to kill in line waiting to get in
james sharkey and i are all in this picture!

the anticipation is killing us
we cannot contain our excitement


looking up from the courtyard

gaudi's famous catenary arches


the roof is really the best part
like an architect's disney land





another gaudi : guel park

a mosaic of colorful tiles

melissa and i sitting on the colorful tiles


peekaboo! behind a .. column? made of chocolate? rocks?

overlooking guel park

bubble man!

an electical violinist
in the forest of gaudi columns

hungry? TAPAS!



on the way back to our apartment, we realized that almost everyone was decked out in their FCBARCELONA soccer gear.
so....
we threw on our jerseys in search for tickets to the soccer match

luckily found like, 9 seats all together!!

the stadium !

weeeeEEEE CAN'T WAIT FOR THE GAME TO START
they beat sevilla 5-1, or was it 5-0?
way to end fall break with a bang


don't think we hung up our jerseys just yet....

for halloween we went as the barcelona soccer team
and nick went as a lonely man-u player

i wish I was back there, too :(
